Distribution: Known only from NSW: Broken Bay
southwards to Wattamolla.

Habitat: Lives on waterlogged wood, known
from 439-714 m. There are 235 paratypes taken from one piece of wood
from 439 m off Broken Bay.

Synonymy: None

Remarks: This is one of 15 species of
skeneiform gastropods that were found on and in sunken wood from deep
water, as described by Marshall (1988). A community of molluscs was
found inhabiting the extensively bored wood, including boring bivalves (Teredinidae,
or shipworms and Mytilidae, or mussels), and minute limpets of the
families Acmaeidae, Cocculinidae and Pseudococculinidae. As with
this species of skeneid, some of the minute limpets were also abundant
on the wood substrate.
